In terms of dimensions, the All-New Hyundai Tucson is the longest in the segment followed by the Tiguan and C5 Aircross. Similarly, the Tucson also offers the most in-cabin space with a wheelbase of 2755mm. The next best cabin is seen on the C5 Aircross which also gets the widest and the tallest interior. The dimensions of the Jeep Compass are nothing to write home about as the SUV clearly lags behind its rivals.
